Due date: undetermined, but extraordinarily unlikely to be before 2015.

Code name: Carthage on Ice.

• Add new wizard pane to perform custom completion steps after calculation finishes, including:
  • Custom script / graph.
  • Save project (will spawn UI if file name not set).
  • Sleep / hibernate / shutdown computer
• Support wizard presets.

• Add option to re-map from one climate to another, for use when editing/creating a new climate (see request.)

• Modify texture generator to apply, after land type blending, a set of masked materials.
• New TX mask wizard.

• Warn on very large map sizes.
• Fix detail saturation in T3D for desert & artic climates.

• New HF tool window:
  • Make window appear, for first time, in top-right corner of Sapphire.
  • Add spin controls for radius & such
  • Add 'PerlinRaise' and 'PerlinLower' tools (see request.)
• Fixed support for large heightfields (see bug report.)
  • Move ROAM patches to CsHeightfieldTile class (requires patch size to be divisor of tile size?)
  • Implement dynamic loading / freeing of tiles (with re-tessellation, etc.)
  • Optimise triangle pool usage between tiles
• Document path recording / playback.
• Add rendering of camera paths and teleport points.
  • Use better camera mesh (saved as zmesh?)
  • Add text overlay above camera teleport point.
• Add support for loading arbitrary point lists (from CSV) as paths.
• Add heading display, possibly mini-map too (see request).

• Add InitMap2 API function, extension function, and filter.
• Allow larger non-mosaic maps in UI.

• Add HF.GenMap to benchmarking results
• Allow 'HF→change vert scale' to work with DM (see forum thread.)

• Document atEdgeender plugin.
• Update box wrapping script (see request, see script) to include progress bars.
• Implement improved blending modes to remove streaking.

• Add more off-line help PDFs. (some added, see here)
• Write more of the climate tutorial.
• Finish the material tutorial.
• Update the algorithms pages.
• Add start-to-finish tutorial for T3D MegaTerrain (see request).
• Document new splat map settings in materials.
• Document path recording / playback in Sapphire.
• Document atEdgeBlender.

• Remove largely useless 'Split to mosaic' and 'Combine mosaic' functions. Possibly retain 'change mosaic tile size' option, but only on MAPALLOC_MOSAIC.

• Add load and save buttons to alpha wizard (or enable presets), so that layer combination lists can be stored and recalled (see request)

• Add mask map wizard, in scheme after attributes map.
• Add option to run script files or graphs after map calculations (e.g. in wizard.)

• Add manual scaling UI to L3DTio_RAW_HF plugin (see this thread.)

• Implement 'Operations→Design map→Resize canvas' using graph/script (see request.)

• Change GetExt to get only last extension. Add new CompareExt function to handle compound extensions (see bug report).
• Fix alpha map generator to include all land types in map (reported by Andrew B. via e-mail, error is 'calc_Alpha_GenMaps error - invalid alpha index in LandTypeAlphaIDBuf').
• DM editing doesn't always mark HF as dirty (see this thread.)
• Fix bug in volcano overlay (see bug report).
• Fix screen capture to file.
• Debug problems in view when importing design map (see bug report.)
